Atmel has introduced VaultIC family of security modules for applications including femtocells, smart meters, telehealth, USB token and gaming platforms. The VaultIC460 provides a secure microcontroller with multiple interfaces and bundled firmware. Based on the company's AT90SO secureAVR microcontrollers, this new family provide a secure turnkey solution for system designers. The module provides 128Kbyte of fully configurable EEPROM memory to store user data and match any security architecture.
The new VaultIC family offers designers with firmware, hardware and complex cryptography embedded into a module to ensure a high level of banking-type security. The VaultIC family offers designers enhanced functionality, a new interface with rapid computation of all standard cryptography algorithms, and higher security to protect both the keys and data. These products are designed to meet Common Criteria EAL4+ and FIPS 140-2 level 3 certifications.
